2.Preperation

Proper preparation is what determines how well sod establishes.

This step includes:

  • Removal of existing grass, weeds, or debris (if required)

  • Grading and surface preparation

  • Bringing in fresh topsoil as needed

  • Ensuring the soil is properly conditioned with the right nutrients for sod installation

The goal is to create the right growing environment before the sod is installed.
